Kioti CK4010SE HST
I've been in the market for my first tractor for a little while and have been doing a lot of online research and watching a lot of youtube videos trying to decide which one was right for me. I ended up deciding on a Kioti CK401SE HST, it should be delivered in the next week or two and I can't wait to put it to work! This forum has been very useful in my research!

Congrats on your new tractor. It's a great feeling to have the ability to do your own work. Now the fun starts, thinking of all the projects you can do, and all the new attachments you "have to" get to make them happen.

Lol.

Post some pics when you get it home. We all love tractor pics.

Very cool. What are your first projects going to be? Have to get that thing dirty, it's way too clean.

I will be watching how this turns out for you.
I've been thinking a 4010 HST for a while now, not overly happy with the Mahindra.

Will be watching the lifting with the FEL, the Max28 HST is lacking in the ability to lift what the spec says it can.

Enjoy, keep the picture and story of the new Tractor coming.

Why . . . Mahindra not strong enough? . . . My smallest tractor is a 3016 and that little bugger has some b@lls. . .

First project is going to be fixing my driveway. I agree I definitely need to get it dirty!

Not Strong Enough... why I say that is because I can't drive up my driveway with a full front bucket without stopping and putting the Tractor in Low Range; yes in Low Range it does a decent job !

Lifting, I went by the specs, more than my last Tractor, but to me I feel I have to struggle to get it to pick up the same things, I don't have picture of actual measurements so I can't say absolute, more guessing on the feel.

I was just moving some of Metal shelving with the FEL, strapped it in, backed up, when I went forward and started to roll the bucket inward and the the Tractor slowed, I think the pump isn't large enough to handle the added hydraulic load of two functions at once.

The back hoe, again going by what I remember, the feel is that the Mahindra doesn't dig as well as my older, smaller, Yanmar.

And although not a power thing, I wish this Max28 had a shift on the fly Transmissions; the Mahindra has to be stopped before moving the Hi/Low Lever.

I have checked the Fluid Levels and I have raised the RPM Level while doing projects, so I don't know what else to do but that is a story for another thread.

I've heard something similar from several people in my area about some of the Mahindras. One hydraulic function at a time is fine, but lift and curl or using an HST while trying to lift causes a noticeable power decrease.

Trying to get info on upper the pressure.

Wish I had someone close to me that knows these Tractors and what to do..., I'm a little nervous !

My previous Tractor, a Yanmar, had two pump

BRMyers,

Seat Belts are a good thing when applied properly BUT when you are in a tipping situation the seat belt gets in the way, so when I am working a hill side or slope, I do not wear the belt... IF the Tractor decides I have over extended the balance point then I want to be able to jump off !

Won't go into RIGHT or WRONG !
